Darling Shamrocks and Hearts

A month or so, I ordered these darling Prim Shamrocks from Deb at Paxton Valley Folk Art. I told her the reason I was ordering them was because St. Patricks Day is my birthday and I was buying them for myself!!

They came and are so cute! They each have a different sentiment on the muslin strips that are pinned onto the shamrock with rusty little safety pins.

BUT, THAT'S NOT ALL!!

She sent me a packet full of the most precious little fringed hearts as a birthday gift.Thanks Deb!!

I put them in one of my Mom's pieces of pink Depression Glass. This is the small tray that the sugar and creamer go on and they fit perfectly. I added a pink compote full of pearls and a little mauve colored bird along with the sugar and creamer. Along with my pink, burgundy and silver ornament wreath, it made a pretty arrangement that my Mom would have gone ape over!

I love the shamrocks! Are you Irish? How fun to be born on that big day! I don't decorate for St. Paddy's day although we are half Irish and French. I do make the corned beef and cabbage though. You asked when my birthday is..it's Feb. 3.
